Geography

tiny-mole [99]4 years ago
4 0

Greenhouse emissions of tar sand, per barrel, are more than conventional crude oil. This is because, it takes more energy to extract the bitumen from the tar sand and more so, to convert the bitumen to usable oil taking up even more energy. This energy is usually derived from burning natural gas.  Emissions by tar sand are approximately 100 kg CO2 per barrel while conventional oil is approximately 30 kg CO2 per barrel.

Ksenya-84 [330]

The climate of North America can range broadly, from forests, hot summers to cold, wet winters, freezing temperatures in the winter, to blistering heat in the summer. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of North America's climate.

<u>Advantages:</u>

- Largely sunny, with moderate rainfalls during seasons that allow for plant growth typically in Central America.

- Large, Spacious, and diverse geographical places, from deserts that house animals such as Coyotes, to mountains that house mountain goats and other animals, to rain forests that have bears, etc.

<u>Disadvantages:</u>

- Large tracts of Deserts makes it hard for urbanization and build up of the lands, as it costs large amounts of money to change desert into livable lands.

- Areas of the lands can be more hot (especially central - southern US) as they are closer to the equator, while the northern parts of North America (Northern part of the US and Canada) is generally colder.
